Let's hope that everyone has a safe and fun filled summer this year. If you're not out of school then I bet you will be soon. It's time to celebrate by kicking off the summer with a fun contest, yay! There are four categories and each of them have a different prize. There's a limit of 1 contest entry per category. Entries are due by June 30th to jade@whiteoakstables.net! No matter which category you choose your entry should show/describe what fun things you plan to do this summer.

Water Bottle Contest Prize Photography
The picture must be one that you've taken yourself it can't be something you've found on the internet (no, no that's cheating!!!). Pictures will be judged on quality, sharpness, composition and creativity. The winner will get a White Oak Stables water bottle. The bottle will be customized with your name and the text of your choice. You can choose any White Oak Stables breed of horse to go on the bottle and the horse can be any color found in the game.

Journal Contest Prize Art: Traditional
You can choose any traditional medium to use. Can't think of what to use? Why not try one of these: pencils, pen, markers, Mouse Pad Contest Prize crayons, chalk, acrylic paints or even clay. Artwork will be judged on composition and creativity. The winner will get a White Oak Stables journal with their choice of interior paper: lined, blank, grid or task sheet.

Art: Digital
Your picture should be drawn entirely with your computer, collages and photo manipulations will be accepted as long as you've used at least 3 images in your composition (and please credit your sources too!). Artwork will be judged on composition and creativity. The winner will get a White Oak Stables mouse pad.

Book Contest Prize Short Story or Poem
Write a short story or a poem that describes what you're going to do this summer. For a story your entry should be at least 100 words, for a poem your entry should be at least 25 words. Stories and poems will be judged on creativity, spelling, grammar and punctuation. The winner will get a copy of the White Oak Stables young adult novel (224 pages).

Racing Manager - #86545 Rosewood Acres

All other newspaper applicants will be considered first for staff positions. To the new managers, please check the email address you use on your account for an email with instructions on how to access the newspaper admin panel.
War Horse Puppet?

Hey guys, I found this really interesting video that I'd love to share with you. This video is about two puppeteers who developed a life sized, rideable horse to star in a War Horse play. The video starts out talking about a heyena puppet but if you want to get to the good stuff just skip ahead about 2 minutes. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
